Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a physical uplink shared channel dynamic uplink grant based transmission and the second transmission is a physical uplink shared channel dynamic uplink grant based transmission.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a physical uplink shared channel preconfigured uplink grant based transmission and the second transmission is a physical uplink shared channel dynamic uplink grant based transmission.
This invention relates to wireless communication systems, specifically methods for transmitting data in uplink channels. The problem addressed is the efficient use of uplink resources in scenarios where both preconfigured and dynamic uplink grants are available. Preconfigured uplink grants allow a user device to transmit data without waiting for explicit scheduling commands, while dynamic uplink grants provide more flexible resource allocation but require additional signaling overhead. The method involves transmitting data in two distinct uplink transmissions. The first transmission uses a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with a preconfigured uplink grant, meaning the device sends data based on pre-configured resources without needing real-time scheduling from the network. The second transmission uses a PUSCH with a dynamic uplink grant, where the device transmits data in response to an explicit scheduling command from the network. This dual-transmission approach allows the system to balance between the efficiency of preconfigured grants and the flexibility of dynamic grants, optimizing uplink resource utilization and reducing latency. The method ensures that data is transmitted reliably while minimizing signaling overhead and improving overall system performance.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a physical uplink control channel scheduling request transmission and the second transmission is a physical uplink shared channel dynamic uplink grant based transmission.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a physical uplink control channel scheduling request transmission and the second transmission is a physical uplink shared channel preconfigured uplink grant based transmission.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a physical uplink control channel scheduling request transmission and the second transmission is a physical uplink control channel scheduling request transmission.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a modulation and coding scheme characteristic.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a radio network temporary identifier used to signal at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a type of data or a type of service associated with at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission.
A method for classifying network transmissions involves analyzing characteristics of data or services associated with network traffic. The method identifies and categorizes transmissions based on their type, such as the kind of data being transmitted (e.g., text, video, encrypted data) or the type of service involved (e.g., streaming, file transfer, real-time communication). This classification helps in managing network resources, optimizing performance, and enforcing security policies. The method may involve comparing the identified characteristics against predefined criteria to determine the appropriate handling of each transmission. By distinguishing between different types of data or services, the system can prioritize critical traffic, apply specific security measures, or allocate bandwidth efficiently. This approach enhances network efficiency and security by ensuring that transmissions are processed according to their specific requirements. The method is particularly useful in environments where diverse types of network traffic must be managed dynamically.
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is an order of reception of the set of indicators.
13. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a type of channel of the first transmission or the second transmission.
A method for analyzing wireless communication channels involves determining a characteristic of a transmission, where the characteristic is the type of channel used in either a first transmission or a second transmission. The method includes receiving a first transmission from a first device and a second transmission from a second device, where the transmissions are part of a wireless communication system. The system may involve multiple devices communicating over different types of channels, such as control channels, data channels, or broadcast channels. The method further involves processing the transmissions to identify the channel type, which could be a control channel for signaling, a data channel for payload transmission, or a broadcast channel for shared information. The identified channel type is then used to determine the nature of the transmission, enabling the system to optimize routing, prioritize data, or manage interference. This method is particularly useful in wireless networks where different channel types require distinct handling to ensure efficient and reliable communication. The approach helps distinguish between different transmission purposes, improving network performance and resource allocation.
14. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a type of the first transmission or a type of the second transmission.
15. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE is not configured to concurrently transmit the first transmission and the second transmission based at least in part on a type of data or a type of service indicated by the set of indicators.
This invention relates to wireless communication systems, specifically to methods for managing concurrent transmissions by a user equipment (UE) device. The problem addressed is the need to prevent interference or performance degradation when a UE attempts to transmit multiple signals simultaneously, particularly when the transmissions involve different types of data or services. The method involves a UE receiving a set of indicators that specify whether the UE is permitted to transmit a first transmission and a second transmission concurrently. The decision to allow or disallow concurrent transmission is based on the type of data or service associated with the transmissions. For example, certain data types or services may require prioritization or exclusive use of transmission resources to ensure reliability or quality of service. The UE evaluates the indicators and, if the conditions are not met, refrains from transmitting the second transmission while the first transmission is ongoing. This ensures that the UE does not interfere with critical or high-priority communications, maintaining network efficiency and service quality. The method may also involve the UE adjusting transmission parameters, such as power or timing, to further optimize performance when concurrent transmission is allowed. The invention is particularly relevant in scenarios where a UE must balance multiple communication needs, such as in 5G or other advanced wireless networks.
16. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a transmission time interval (TTI) associated with at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission.
17. The method of claim 1, wherein the characteristic is a target reliability level of a modulation and coding scheme associated with at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission.
This invention relates to wireless communication systems, specifically improving transmission reliability in scenarios involving multiple transmissions, such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) or multi-link communication. The problem addressed is ensuring consistent and reliable data delivery while optimizing resource usage, particularly when different modulation and coding schemes (MCS) are applied to multiple transmissions of the same data. The method involves selecting a target reliability level for an MCS used in at least one of two transmissions of the same data. The first transmission may use a first MCS, while the second transmission uses a second MCS, where the second MCS is different from the first. The target reliability level is determined based on factors such as channel conditions, transmission priorities, or system constraints. By adjusting the reliability level of the MCS for one or both transmissions, the system can balance error resilience with spectral efficiency, ensuring successful data delivery while minimizing redundant transmissions. This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where different transmission paths or HARQ rounds have varying reliability requirements. The method may also involve dynamically adjusting the target reliability level in response to real-time feedback or changing network conditions.
